Chapter 1679 - Taking the initiative instead of acting
As soon as the man in black's voice fell, a woman in an orange dress sitting on the other side also echoed with anticipation, "Yes, I have long heard that the princess's male pet is extremely talented, and today happens to be the princess's birthday, I don't know if I can come to two shows to help the fun, we all follow the princess!"
"Yes, I heard that Ning Gongzi's piano skills are superb, and he has a reputation for three days around the beam, I haven't had a chance to hear it before, and I don't know if there is such an honor today!" The person next to the woman in orange also incited.
Su Moliang saw that many people were coaxing, and they all made up their minds to pay attention to her jokes, the corners of his lips were lightly raised, and a calm smile was aroused, but he happily raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Ning Moyan, and ordered, "Since everyone wants to hear you play the piano, you can play a song." ”
Speaking of which, Ning Moyan very much didn't want to participate in a banquet like tonight, but this was the princess's birthday, and even the empress and the seven major families were here, if he didn't show up as a male favorite, it really couldn't be justified.
Therefore, in order not to be criticized, he only sat in the banquet hard, and kept trying to reduce his sense of existence, but who expected that someone would want to watch him perform, which seemed to treat him as a little trick in the Qinglou, and the ridicule accounted for the majority.
With this kind of humiliating request, Ning Moyan was naturally very repulsive and angry.
It's just that his status is humble, and he doesn't dare to show this anger on his face, after hearing Su Moliang's words, he stood up respectfully and saluted, coughing and apologetically, "Princess, the body is not very comfortable, and the music played is afraid that it is not up to standard, and when the time comes, it will make the princess and the guests present unhappy, such a crime, the servant really can't afford it!"
Although Ning Moyan said it tactfully, no matter how he said it, he refused to play the piano and didn't want to entertain the princess.
So everyone covered their mouths and snickered when they heard this, and they all laughed at Mu Qingqing's incompetence in private, and even the male pet looked down on her, which is really sad!
When Su Moliang heard this, he also knew that Ning Moliang was deliberately trying to embarrass her.
It's just that he can't imagine that he would rather risk being punished and let her lose face, which shows how much he hates her.
Therefore, even Mu Qingluan's face jumped a little angry when she heard this.
In her opinion, although Mu Qingqing really doesn't look good, she is also her sister, and it is indeed a bit presumptuous for a little waiter to dare to refuse the princess's request with such a big courage.
However, before Mu Qingluan's words of scolding could be spoken, a man in a blue robe sitting behind Ning Moyan stood up and said to himself, "Empress, princess, since Ning Gongzi is not feeling well, I wonder if you can let the waiter play a song on his behalf to help everyone?"
As soon as the words of the man in blue came out, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.
It's just that in the next second, everyone was startled by his pockmarked face.
They really didn't expect that there would be such a faceless and ugly male pet in the princess's mansion!!
Seeing his face, everyone was shocked, whispered in disbelief, and sighed one after another, Mu Qingqing is getting hungrier and hungrier, even a man with this appearance dares to enter the house, how short of men there is!
At the same time as being shocked, many people snickered below, and their disdain for Mu Qingqing was even more out of control.
Su Moliang didn't expect Jun Haocang to stand up at this juncture, and he suddenly frowned in shock.
Originally, it was okay to let him come to see the excitement, but he didn't expect that he would have to make an inch, and even threatened to perform on behalf of Ning Moyan, this guy really refused to stop for a moment.
Xi Nuo, who was standing on the side, was also nervous by Jun Haocang's actions, looked at Su Moliang with some doubts, and whispered in a low voice, "How could Gongzi Peng help Ning Moyan relieve the siege, this-"
Su Moliang knew that Xi Nuo must be full of doubts, but she knew that Jun Haocang was definitely not such a kind person, so she comforted him relatively calmly, "I don't think he is helping people, but trying to rectify people!"
When Xi Nuo heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then raised his eyes to look at Jun Haocang, seeing that he was smiling with a pure face, he couldn't help but shudder.
However, just as the two of them were whispering, Mu Qingluan didn't want to make the atmosphere too stiff, so he immediately relented and said, "Okay, you can play a song instead of him!"
Jun Haocang got the order, pretending to be grateful, and then said to Ning Moyan, "Ning Gongzi, I heard that you have a wind and thunder xuanqin, it is said that the bottom of the piano is made of the bones of the wind and thunder demon tiger, and the strings are made of the tail of the winged black armor horse, and the sound of the piano played out is like a ring, tactful and continuous, around the beam for three days!
Jun Haocang's words were very pleasing, while relieving Ning Moxian, he modestly said that his piano skills were not perfect, but he wanted to please the empress and princess, so he wanted to borrow Ning Moyan's guqin, and the request was reasonable, which really made people unable to say no.
But that wind and thunder Xuanqin is a treasure that is more important than his life to Ning Moyan, and he is usually reluctant to even play it himself, let alone take it out for others.
Therefore, borrowing the Wind Thunder Xuanqin is a matter of insignificance to others, but it is an extremely difficult thing for Ning Moyan.
Seeing that Ning Moyan hesitated and refused to speak, Mu Qingluan couldn't control his temper anymore, and scolded angrily, "What's the matter? People see that you are not in good health, and they are kind enough to help you, and you don't even want to help with this little favor, do you think that I and the princess are not worthy of your Fenglei Xuanqin!"
As soon as he heard this, Ning Moyan knew that if he continued to entangle, Mu Qingluan was afraid that he would really be angry.
He didn't want to play the piano just now, but he could use his illness to prevaricate, but now he was unwilling to take out the guqin, which was indeed a little unreasonable, so Ning Moyan had to reply with a hard head, "The empress misunderstood, so I'll send someone to get it!"
As soon as the words fell, he gave an order to the little guy next to him, and the little guy got the order, and soon ran towards the Cloud Shadow Pavilion, not daring to delay for a moment.
Seeing Ning Moyan compromise, Jun Haocang crossed a dark light in his eyes, and then walked out of his seat, came to the center of the garden, and prepared for the performance, just waiting for the little servant to fetch the Wind Thunder Xuanqin.
The little girl's movements were also sharp, and after a while, he walked back with the extremely precious Wind Thunder Xuanqin, and carefully placed the guqin in front of Jun Haocang, for fear of breaking it.
Seeing this, Jun Haocang faintly raised a sneer at the corner of his lips, and then stroked the strings with both hands, tried the timbre, and praised with satisfaction, "It is worthy of the wind and thunder Xuanqin, just this timbre, it is not comparable to the ordinary guqin." I am fortunate to play such a good piano today, which is really a blessing for Ning Gongzi!
